Nervous Ned: Hi, everybody. (shuffles papers) Okay..Um, well, People are worried, because they think that the world is ending, because of the Mayan calendar. Some people attribute the weather patterns to global warming (eye twitches), but others think it is because of the end of the world. I have one thing to say about this speculation: WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!! The volcanoes will smother us with lava and ash, the floods will drown us- Whatever! We’re still going to be killed on December twenty-first! BEWARE! BEWARE!

Zarion: Uh, Ned, I don’t think that this is appropriate. You’re supposed to tell us about what people are saying, and the likelihood of this.

Nervous Ned: Sorry, sorry. Okay, there are other theories for this. Some people believe that the sun will expel a massive solar flare. This could either fry all life on earth or..or..The electricity will leave….(thinks, looks frightened) We’ll resort to cannibalism, and gangs will control society. AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Zarion: Nervous Ned, your behavior is completely unprofessional. I’m afraid that I”m going to have to ask you to leave the studio.

Nervous Ned: Please, no! I have a wife and kids!

Zarion: Okay, You can have one last statement.

Nervous Ned: Finally, I think that we should just stay calm. Don’t go building shelters,bunkers, or hoarding food. It is COMPLETELY unnecessary to buy machine guns. Th-there will be no zombie invasion. Mutations will NOT occur….AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!

Zarion: Nervous Ned, everybody!
